The Wastewater Treatment for Achieving Green Economy

Abstract

The study emphasizes the importance of putting in place a raw sewage pre-treatment system to filter out solid waste before dumping it into streams. Prior research indicates that trash management and Indonesian sociocultural habits are the main environmental issues in Indonesia. The quality of river water would change when frequent direct sewage disposal occurs. However, there is a risk of river pollution caused by negligent river users. To address this, new technologies are needed. This study seeks to use the creative economy to benefit society on an economic and social level. It is determined that community-based water tourism must be developed using human resources to take advantage of the natural potential of the river that flows along Kauman Babadan Banguntapan. The goal is to determine the differences between before-and-after the community service program for using a mechanical bar screen to purify wastewater in to promote a green economy. The study revealed that perceptions and attitudes of households regarding the river’s water quality varied, but there was a strong belief that efforts should be taken to enhance it. The findings demonstrate the importance of addressing water quality issues, promoting environmental preservation, and encouraging community participation in sustainable activities.
